Description

合成磨石Synthetic grindstone

發明領域 本發明是有關於一種用以對矽晶圓等被削物之表面進行研磨加工的合成磨石。Invention field The present invention relates to a synthetic grindstone used to grind the surface of a silicon wafer and other workpieces.

背景技術 半導體製造領域中,構成半導體元件基板的矽晶圓之表面加工,一般會將已將矽單晶鑄錠切片的晶圓,經由研光步驟、蝕刻步驟、拋光步驟等數階段之步驟精加工成鏡面。在研光步驟中獲得平行度、平坦度等尺寸精度、形狀精度。接著,在蝕刻步驟中去除於研光步驟中產生的加工變質層。再者,於拋光步驟中,藉由化學機械研磨(以下稱作「CMP」),形成在維持良好形狀精度後具有鏡面等級之表面粗糙度的晶圓。又,與此同等的拋光步驟,亦可運用在去除半導體後段步驟中被稱作背磨的磨削加工之損傷時。Background technique In the field of semiconductor manufacturing, the surface processing of the silicon wafer that constitutes the substrate of the semiconductor device generally involves the finishing of the wafer that has been sliced into the silicon single crystal ingot through several stages such as polishing step, etching step, and polishing step. Mirror surface. In the polishing step, dimensional accuracy and shape accuracy such as parallelism and flatness are obtained. Next, in the etching step, the processed deterioration layer generated in the polishing step is removed. Furthermore, in the polishing step, chemical mechanical polishing (hereinafter referred to as "CMP") is used to form a wafer with mirror-grade surface roughness while maintaining good shape accuracy. In addition, the same polishing step can also be used to remove the damage of the grinding process called back grinding in the subsequent step of the semiconductor.

近年來運用的方法是進行利用乾式化學機械磨削(以下稱作「CMG」)的表面加工以取代拋光步驟(例如參照專利文獻1)。CMG步驟中使用已藉由硬質樹脂等樹脂結合劑將研磨劑(磨粒)固定化的合成磨石。又,一邊使晶圓及合成磨石旋轉,一邊將合成磨石按壓於晶圓上(例如參照專利文獻2)。晶圓表面之凸部會藉由與合成磨石之摩擦而被加熱、氧化然後變脆並剝落。如此一來,只有晶圓之凸部會被磨削並且平坦化。The method used in recent years is to perform surface processing using dry chemical mechanical grinding (hereinafter referred to as "CMG") instead of the polishing step (for example, refer to Patent Document 1). In the CMG step, a synthetic grindstone in which an abrasive (abrasive grain) has been immobilized with a resin bond such as a hard resin is used. In addition, while rotating the wafer and the synthetic grindstone, the synthetic grindstone is pressed against the wafer (for example, refer to Patent Document 2). The protrusions on the wafer surface are heated, oxidized, and then become brittle and peel off by friction with the synthetic grindstone. In this way, only the convex part of the wafer will be ground and flattened.

合成磨石之主成分在例如被削物為矽晶圓時,會運用氧化鈰或二氧化矽這些氧化物作為研磨劑。又,樹脂結合劑除了酚樹脂或環氧樹脂這些熱硬化性樹脂外,也會運用高耐熱性的熱塑性樹脂。When the main component of the synthetic grindstone is a silicon wafer, for example, oxides such as cerium oxide or silicon dioxide are used as abrasives. In addition to thermosetting resins such as phenol resins and epoxy resins, resin binders also use thermoplastic resins with high heat resistance.

發明概要 發明欲解決之課題 上述合成磨石會有以下問題。即,若進行CMG步驟,則研磨劑會從合成磨石之對被削物的研磨作用面一點一點地脫落,研磨作用面會逐漸變得平滑。因此,研磨作用面上樹脂結合劑與被削物之接觸機會增加,其結果為研磨劑與被削材間的接觸壓力降低,加工效率明顯降低,另一方面,尤其是在以加工率之提升為目標而進行乾式加工時,摩擦熱會變得過大,會有產生燒傷或捲入研磨汙泥所致之刮痕的問題。Summary of the invention The problem to be solved by the invention The above-mentioned synthetic grindstone has the following problems. That is, if the CMG step is performed, the abrasive will drop little by little from the grinding surface of the synthetic grindstone on the workpiece, and the grinding surface will gradually become smooth. Therefore, the chance of contact between the resin bond and the workpiece on the polishing surface increases. As a result, the contact pressure between the abrasive and the workpiece is reduced, and the processing efficiency is significantly reduced. On the other hand, especially when the processing rate is increased When dry processing is performed for the purpose, the frictional heat will become too large, and there will be a problem of burns or scratches caused by being involved in the grinding sludge.

故,本發明是為解決上述課題而成者,目的在提供一種合成磨石,該合成磨石即便持續進行加工,亦可充分地維持研磨劑與被削物之接觸壓力而維持加工效率,並且將樹脂結合劑與被削物之接觸面積抑制在一定值以下,藉此可防止被削物面之品質降低及刮痕的產生。Therefore, the present invention was made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and its object is to provide a synthetic grindstone that can sufficiently maintain the contact pressure between the abrasive and the workpiece to maintain the processing efficiency even if the processing is continued, and The contact area between the resin bond and the workpiece is suppressed below a certain value, thereby preventing the quality of the workpiece surface from degrading and the generation of scratches.

用以解決課題之手段 本實施形態之合成磨石具備:研磨劑,其對前述被削材具有化學機械磨削作用,且平均粒徑小於5μm;球狀填充劑,其平均粒徑大於前述研磨劑;及樹脂結合劑,其一體性結合前述研磨劑與前述球狀填充劑。Means to solve the problem The synthetic grindstone of this embodiment includes: an abrasive, which has a chemical-mechanical grinding effect on the aforementioned material to be cut, and has an average particle size of less than 5μm; a spherical filler with an average particle size larger than the foregoing abrasive; and a resin bond , It integrally combines the aforementioned abrasive and the aforementioned spherical filler.

發明效果 即便持續進行加工,亦可充分地維持研磨劑與被削物之接觸壓力而維持加工效率,並且將樹脂結合劑與被削物之接觸面積抑制在一定值以下,藉此可防止被削物面之品質降低及刮痕的產生。Invention effect Even if the processing is continued, the contact pressure between the abrasive and the workpiece can be sufficiently maintained to maintain the processing efficiency, and the contact area between the resin bond and the workpiece can be suppressed below a certain value, thereby preventing the surface of the workpiece The quality is reduced and scratches are generated.

用以實施發明之形態 圖1~圖4所示者為本發明一實施形態。另,該等圖中,W表示成為磨削對象的矽晶圓(被削物)。如圖1所示,CMG裝置10具備:旋轉平台機構20,其支持晶圓W;及磨石支持機構30,其支持後述合成磨石100。CMG裝置10構成晶圓處理裝置的一部分。於CMG裝置10中,晶圓W可利用搬送機器人等搬入、搬出。The form used to implement the invention Figures 1 to 4 show an embodiment of the present invention. In these figures, W denotes a silicon wafer (a workpiece) to be ground. As shown in FIG. 1, the CMG device 10 includes: a rotating platform mechanism 20 that supports a wafer W; and a grindstone support mechanism 30 that supports a synthetic grindstone 100 described later. The CMG device 10 constitutes a part of a wafer processing device. In the CMG device 10, the wafer W can be carried in and out by a transfer robot or the like.

旋轉平台機構20具備:平台馬達21,其配置於地面上;平台軸22,其自該平台馬達21朝上方突出而配置;及平台23,其安裝於該平台軸22之上端。平台23具有將磨削對象之晶圓W保持為可自由裝卸的機構。保持機構例如包括真空吸附機構。The rotating platform mechanism 20 includes a platform motor 21 which is arranged on the ground; a platform shaft 22 which protrudes upward from the platform motor 21 and is arranged; and a platform 23 which is mounted on the upper end of the platform shaft 22. The stage 23 has a mechanism for holding the wafer W to be polished so as to be freely attachable and detachable. The holding mechanism includes, for example, a vacuum suction mechanism.

磨石支持機構30具備:架台31,其配置於地面上,同時於內部收納有馬達;垂直方向之搖動軸32,其支持於該架台31上,並利用架台31內的馬達朝圖1中箭頭方向搖動;臂部33,其設置於該搖動軸32之上端,並朝水平方向延伸設置;及磨石驅動機構40,其設置於該臂部33之前端側。The grindstone support mechanism 30 is provided with a stand 31, which is arranged on the ground and a motor is housed inside; a vertical swing shaft 32, which is supported on the stand 31, and uses the motor in the stand 31 to move toward the arrow in Fig. 1 The arm part 33 is arranged at the upper end of the shaking shaft 32 and extends in the horizontal direction; and the grindstone driving mechanism 40 is arranged at the front end side of the arm part 33.

磨石驅動機構40具備旋轉馬達部41。旋轉馬達部41具備朝下方突出的旋轉軸42。於旋轉軸42之前端部安裝有圓環狀之輪保持構件43。於輪保持構件43上,如圖2所示,圓環狀之合成磨石100安裝成可自由裝卸。裝設合成磨石100時,從輪保持構件43側將螺栓擰入已設置於合成磨石100的螺孔來裝設。The grindstone drive mechanism 40 includes a rotation motor unit 41. The rotation motor unit 41 includes a rotation shaft 42 protruding downward. A ring-shaped wheel holding member 43 is attached to the front end of the rotating shaft 42. On the wheel holding member 43, as shown in FIG. 2, the ring-shaped synthetic grindstone 100 is installed so as to be freely attachable and detachable. When installing the synthetic grindstone 100, bolts are screwed into the screw holes already provided in the synthetic grindstone 100 from the wheel holding member 43 side to install.

如圖3所示,合成磨石100係將0.2~50體積%的研磨劑101、20~60體積%的球狀填充劑102及3~25體積%的樹脂結合劑103利用下述體積比率來形成。另,球狀填充劑102之形狀未必限於球體,若為塊狀,則包含些許凹凸或變形。As shown in Figure 3, the synthetic grindstone 100 is made of 0.2-50% by volume of abrasive 101, 20-60% by volume of spherical filler 102, and 3-25% by volume of resin bond 103 using the following volume ratios form. In addition, the shape of the spherical filler 102 is not necessarily limited to a spherical body, and if it is a block shape, it includes a little unevenness or deformation.

研磨劑101例如使用粒徑20nm以下的煙化二氧化矽(fumed silica)。另,所謂粒徑,意指球等效直徑下的中位直徑D50。又,研磨劑101之粒徑宜小於5μm。For the abrasive 101, fumed silica having a particle size of 20 nm or less is used, for example. In addition, the so-called particle diameter means the median diameter D50 under the equivalent diameter of the sphere. In addition, the particle size of the abrasive 101 is preferably less than 5 μm.

在此,針對雖然使用粒徑20nm以下的煙化二氧化矽、但卻將研磨劑101之粒徑上限值規定為小於5μm的理由進行說明。即,微粒子在已分散於液中之狀態下的一次粒子以及已於大氣中或固體中凝集之狀態下的二次粒子,其粒徑大不相同。例如上述煙化二氧化矽,一次粒子為10~20nm,但二次粒子卻成為0.1~0.5μm左右。因此,當規定研磨劑之粒徑上限值時,宜考慮一次粒子與二次粒子兩者混雜之情形,以二次粒子之粒徑上限值來規定。另一方面,微粒子除了煙化二氧化矽外,如後述還具有各式種類(氧化鈰、氧化鉻、氧化鐵、氧化鋁、碳化矽等),可根據其二次粒子之粒徑來訂定上限值。Here, although fumed silica having a particle size of 20 nm or less is used, the reason for setting the upper limit of the particle size of the abrasive 101 to be less than 5 μm will be described. That is, the primary particles in the state where the fine particles are dispersed in the liquid and the secondary particles in the state where the fine particles have been aggregated in the air or in the solid have very different particle sizes. For example, in the above fumed silica, the primary particles are 10-20nm, but the secondary particles are about 0.1-0.5μm. Therefore, when specifying the upper limit of the particle size of the abrasive, it is advisable to consider the mixing of primary particles and secondary particles, and specify the upper limit of the particle size of the secondary particles. On the other hand, in addition to fumed silica, fine particles also have various types (cerium oxide, chromium oxide, iron oxide, aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, etc.) as described later, which can be determined according to the size of their secondary particles. Upper limit.

又,在粒徑成為1μm以下的次微米粒子之情形時,研磨劑101之體積比率亦可為0.2~1%。球狀填充劑102使用粒徑20μm的球狀矽膠。另,球狀矽膠為二氧化矽之多孔質體。樹脂結合劑103例如使用酚樹脂或乙基纖維素。若將依此形成的合成磨石100利用電子顯微鏡來放大顯示,則會成為如圖4所示。In addition, when the particle size is a submicron particle of 1 μm or less, the volume ratio of the abrasive 101 may be 0.2 to 1%. The spherical filler 102 uses spherical silica gel with a particle diameter of 20 μm. In addition, spherical silica gel is a porous body of silica. As the resin binder 103, for example, a phenol resin or ethyl cellulose is used. If the synthetic grindstone 100 formed in this way is enlarged and displayed with an electron microscope, it will become as shown in FIG. 4.

合成磨石100是將上述比率之研磨劑101、球狀填充劑102、樹脂結合劑103溶於MEK(甲基乙基酮)溶劑中,攪拌後於大氣中乾燥。將乾燥後之物質進行粉碎而作成粉體,並將該粉體填充於模具中,於180℃下加壓成型而形成。研磨劑101及樹脂結合劑103會形成母材M,並形成球狀填充劑102分散於該母材M內的狀態。另,亦可調整樹脂結合劑103之結合度,抑或為了提升組織分散性而加入比研磨劑101更細小的粒子或線徑小的纖維質。The synthetic grindstone 100 is made by dissolving the abrasive 101, the spherical filler 102, and the resin binder 103 in the MEK (methyl ethyl ketone) solvent in the above ratio, and then drying in the atmosphere after stirring. The dried material is pulverized to form a powder, and the powder is filled in a mold, and formed by press molding at 180°C. The abrasive 101 and the resin bond 103 form the base material M, and the spherical filler 102 is dispersed in the base material M. In addition, it is also possible to adjust the bonding degree of the resin bonding agent 103, or to add finer particles or fibers with a smaller diameter than the abrasive 101 in order to improve the dispersibility of the tissue.

又,相對於以矽作為主成分的晶圓W,由煙化二氧化矽構成的研磨劑101係與晶圓或其氧化物同等或軟質。又,相對於研磨劑101,由球狀矽膠構成的球狀填充劑102係與晶圓或其氧化物同質或軟質。再者,相對於研磨劑101,由纖維素構成的樹脂結合劑103為同質或軟質。In addition, with respect to the wafer W having silicon as the main component, the abrasive 101 made of fumed silicon dioxide is equivalent to or softer than the wafer or its oxide. In addition, with respect to the abrasive 101, the spherical filler 102 made of spherical silicone is the same or soft as the wafer or its oxide. In addition, with respect to the abrasive 101, the resin binder 103 made of cellulose is homogeneous or soft.

另,上述合成磨石100中的體積比率如下述般來決定。即,若研磨劑101小於0.2體積%,則加工效率降低,若大於50體積%,則磨石之成型會變得困難。故,研磨劑101之體積比宜為0.2~50%。In addition, the volume ratio in the synthetic grindstone 100 mentioned above is determined as follows. That is, if the abrasive 101 is less than 0.2% by volume, the processing efficiency is reduced, and if it is greater than 50% by volume, the molding of the grindstone becomes difficult. Therefore, the volume ratio of the abrasive 101 should be 0.2-50%.

又,當球狀填充劑102小於20體積%時,會有防止磨面平滑化之效果薄弱的問題。若球狀填充劑102之體積比率變大,則可高度維持加工效率,同時能防止晶圓W之品質降低及刮痕產生的效果大,因此宜為30體積%以上。然而,若大於60體積%,則磨石成型會變得困難。故,球狀填充劑102之體積比宜為20~60%,若為50~60%則更為理想。In addition, when the spherical filler 102 is less than 20% by volume, there is a problem that the effect of preventing the smoothing of the grinding surface is weak. If the volume ratio of the spherical filler 102 is increased, the processing efficiency can be maintained at a high level, and at the same time, the effect of preventing the quality of the wafer W from deteriorating and the generation of scratches is large, so it is preferably 30% by volume or more. However, if it exceeds 60% by volume, it becomes difficult to shape the grindstone. Therefore, the volume ratio of the spherical filler 102 is preferably 20-60%, and it is more ideal if it is 50-60%.

再者,樹脂結合劑103若其比率減少,則加工效率提升,但若小於3體積%,則成型會變得困難,合成磨石100之磨損速度加快。若樹脂結合劑103大於25體積%,則磨石結合度會大幅上升,加工中的磨損消失,因此,即便有前述球狀填充劑,亦容易產生磨面平滑化。故,樹脂結合劑103之體積比宜為3~25體積%。Furthermore, if the ratio of the resin bond 103 is reduced, the processing efficiency is improved, but if it is less than 3% by volume, molding becomes difficult, and the wear rate of the synthetic grindstone 100 increases. If the resin bond 103 is more than 25% by volume, the degree of bonding of the grindstone is greatly increased, and abrasion during processing disappears. Therefore, even with the spherical filler described above, smoothing of the grinding surface is likely to occur. Therefore, the volume ratio of the resin bond 103 is preferably 3-25% by volume.

依此構成的合成磨石100會安裝於CMG裝置10,並如下述般來磨削晶圓W。即,將合成磨石100安裝於輪保持構件43上。接著,利用搬送機器人將晶圓W安裝於平台23上。The synthetic grindstone 100 constructed in this way is installed in the CMG device 10, and the wafer W is ground as follows. That is, the synthetic grindstone 100 is mounted on the wheel holding member 43. Next, the wafer W is mounted on the platform 23 by the transfer robot.

其次,驅動平台馬達21,使平台23朝圖1中箭頭方向旋轉。又,驅動旋轉馬達部41,使輪保持構件43及合成磨石100朝圖1中箭頭方向旋轉。例如使合成磨石100以600m/min之周速旋轉,同時以加工壓力300g/cm2 朝晶圓W側按壓。再者,使搖動軸32朝圖1中箭頭方向搖動。藉由該等連動,合成磨石100與晶圓W會滑動。Next, the platform motor 21 is driven to rotate the platform 23 in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 1. In addition, the rotation motor unit 41 is driven to rotate the wheel holding member 43 and the synthetic grindstone 100 in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 1. For example, the synthetic grindstone 100 is rotated at a peripheral speed of 600 m/min, while pressing against the wafer W side with a processing pressure of 300 g/cm 2. Furthermore, the rocking shaft 32 is rocked in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 1. With these linkages, the synthetic grindstone 100 and the wafer W will slide.

圖3中顯示此時的合成磨石100與晶圓W之關係。球狀填充劑102之平均粒徑大於研磨劑101,因此,加工中的合成磨石100與晶圓W幾乎透過球狀填充劑102之頂點來接觸。即,於合成磨石100之母材M與晶圓W間存在有球狀填充劑102,因此,母材M與晶圓W不會直接接觸,並且產生一定之間隙S。FIG. 3 shows the relationship between the synthetic grindstone 100 and the wafer W at this time. The average particle size of the spherical filler 102 is larger than that of the abrasive 101. Therefore, the synthetic grindstone 100 and the wafer W being processed are in contact almost through the apex of the spherical filler 102. That is, there is a spherical filler 102 between the base material M of the synthetic grindstone 100 and the wafer W. Therefore, the base material M and the wafer W do not directly contact, and a certain gap S is generated.

若於球狀填充劑102與晶圓W接觸的狀態下開始加工,則外力會作用於母材M。在該外力連續作用下,樹脂結合劑103會鬆弛,研磨劑101會從母材M脫落。已游離的研磨劑101於合成磨石100與晶圓W之間隙中會以吸附於球狀填充劑102的狀態存在於加工界面。故,加工中的研磨劑101與晶圓W幾乎是透過球狀填充劑102之頂點來接觸。因此,研磨劑101與晶圓W的實際接觸面積會大幅縮小,在加工點的作用壓力提高。故,可於高加工效率下進行磨削加工。If the processing is started in a state where the spherical filler 102 is in contact with the wafer W, external force will act on the base material M. Under the continuous action of this external force, the resin bond 103 will relax, and the abrasive 101 will fall off the base material M. The free abrasive 101 is present on the processing interface in a state of being adsorbed on the spherical filler 102 in the gap between the synthetic grindstone 100 and the wafer W. Therefore, the polishing agent 101 and the wafer W during processing are almost in contact with each other through the apex of the spherical filler 102. Therefore, the actual contact area between the abrasive 101 and the wafer W will be greatly reduced, and the pressure at the processing point will increase. Therefore, grinding can be performed with high processing efficiency.

另一方面,藉由間隙S,可促進晶圓W表面附近的空氣與外部空氣之循環,加工面會冷卻。又,因研磨劑101而產生的汙泥透過間隙S自晶圓W排出至外部,可防止晶圓W表面損傷。其結果,可防止摩擦熱所致晶圓W表面之燒傷或刮痕。On the other hand, the gap S can promote the circulation of the air near the surface of the wafer W and the outside air, and the processed surface will be cooled. In addition, the sludge generated by the abrasive 101 is discharged from the wafer W to the outside through the gap S, and damage to the surface of the wafer W can be prevented. As a result, it is possible to prevent burns or scratches on the surface of the wafer W caused by frictional heat.

如此一來,利用合成磨石100,將晶圓W之表面磨削成平坦且具有預定表面粗糙度。In this way, the synthetic grindstone 100 is used to grind the surface of the wafer W to be flat and have a predetermined surface roughness.

如上述,依據本實施形態之合成磨石100,即便持續進行加工,亦可充分地維持研磨劑101與晶圓W之接觸壓力而維持加工效率,並且抑制樹脂結合劑103與晶圓W之直接接觸,藉此可防止晶圓W之品質降低及刮痕的產生。As described above, according to the synthetic grindstone 100 of this embodiment, even if the processing is continued, the contact pressure between the abrasive 101 and the wafer W can be sufficiently maintained to maintain the processing efficiency, and the direct contact between the resin bond 103 and the wafer W can be suppressed. Contact, thereby preventing the deterioration of the quality of the wafer W and the generation of scratches.

另,構成合成磨石100的材料並不限於上述材料。即,作為研磨劑101,在被削材為矽時,可應用二氧化矽或氧化鈰,在被削材為藍寶石時,則可應用氧化鉻、氧化鐵。此外,作為具有可應用性的研磨劑,亦可依照被削材之種類而使用氧化鋁、碳化矽。In addition, the material constituting the synthetic grindstone 100 is not limited to the above-mentioned materials. That is, as the abrasive 101, when the material to be cut is silicon, silicon dioxide or cerium oxide can be used, and when the material to be cut is sapphire, chromium oxide or iron oxide can be used. In addition, as an applicable abrasive, alumina and silicon carbide can also be used according to the type of material to be cut.

球狀填充劑102可應用二氧化矽、碳以及屬於該等之多孔質體的矽膠、活性碳等。另,被運用作為氣孔形成劑的空心體氣球會在加工中破裂而成為刮痕的原因,因此並不適合。The spherical filler 102 can be silicon dioxide, carbon, silica gel, activated carbon, etc., which belong to these porous bodies. In addition, the hollow balloon used as a pore forming agent may break during processing and cause scratches, so it is not suitable.

樹脂結合劑103除了酚樹脂、環氧樹脂這些熱硬化性樹脂外,亦可應用像是乙基纖維素這類熱塑性樹脂。在熱塑性樹脂之情形時,只要是軟化點較高到120℃以上且拉伸度少者,便可加以使用。In addition to thermosetting resins such as phenol resin and epoxy resin, the resin bonding agent 103 can also be applied to thermoplastic resins such as ethyl cellulose. In the case of a thermoplastic resin, it can be used as long as it has a high softening point of 120°C or higher and a low degree of elongation.
